State-sponsored Right Wing Propoganda 

@downey @massonpj @mackiwg Yup, and those Microsoft account managers are great at making uni staff 'feel valued'. At both institutions I worked at, the IT teams had an (unofficial) daily uniform that was entirely Microsoft-branded

It's amazing to me, there's US libertarians on birdsite shouting that left libertarians "stole" the term "libertarian" from them.

Extremely funny.

@endomain Tell them to give America back to the natives. ;-)

After another long #debugging session with the #librem5 , I decided to publish a comprehensive tutorial for remote graphical debugging with #QtCreator.

Been reading The Work of Living by Maximilian Alvarez and got to a part where he's talking to a miner about recent changes in management where managers are now disconnected from the work they're overseeing. Alvarez talks about hearing the same from a shipwright and a nurse.

Given the widening wealth gap in the USA, then if management can be defined as a wealthier class, it makes sense that new managers would come from families that have had to labor less.

@ocdtrekkie @varx Ouch! I was in that boat as well for a number of years. Now I feel lucky my employer still offers a so-called low deductible plan (i.e., most expensive monthly), because all the high deductible plans require hitting the deductible before pharmacy costs are reduced, and I have two household members that require expensive medicines.

We added a new option in called Restricted Boot that only boots self-signed kernels and distro-signed ISOs. I talk about how we approached this feature at length in this blog post: puri.sm/posts/introducing-pure

“Today, we’ve filed a class-action law­suit in US fed­eral court in San Fran­cisco, CA on behalf of a pro­posed class of pos­si­bly mil­lions of GitHub users. We are chal­leng­ing the legal­ity of GitHub Copi­lot (and a related prod­uct, OpenAI Codex, which pow­ers Copi­lot). The suit has been filed against a set of defen­dants that includes GitHub, Microsoft (owner of GitHub), and OpenAI.”

@ocdtrekkie @lightweight In following with most of the legal precepts I've seen, where enforced, you only have to know about the concepts defined for your Engineer recertification exams, whether you use them or not. ;-)

Of course, Capers Jones and Tom DeMarco have both talked about how they make a lot of money testifying in court cases where companies fail to follow known steps needed to plan and execute a software project.

I cringe anymore when the word "pragmatic" enters a software conversation, because I can pretty much know I'll be discussing things with a "climate change denier" version of a software engineer.

History lesson: Ukraine, Russia, Germany, Poland 

Tried my third non-original Bushmills and found a third Bushmills I don't like.
